filter (see Chapter 5.3.5 WLAN filters), third parties
could gain access to your network at any time and, for
example, share your Internet connection. Each in-
stance of access is visible to you in the WiFi monitor.
Save all modified settings before leaving this configu-
ration area again by pressing OK to confirm them.
Keep in mind that after saving this
setting, you will be disconnected
from any existing wireless connec-
tion to the dLAN 1200+ WiFi ac. In
this case, configure the device via
Ethernet or dLAN. When activating
the encryption, also make sure that
the WiFi settings (network name and
key) of the access point always match
the settings on the clients, as other-
wise you will be (unintentionally) ex-
cluding devices from your network.
5.3.2 WLAN time control
To be able to use the WLAN time control, enable the
time control option.
You can define multiple time periods during which your
wireless network is to be enabled for each weekday.
Then the time control automatically switches the wire-
less network on or off.
If you enable the Automatic disconnection option,
the wireless network is not switched off until the last
station has logged off.
Manually switching the access point
on or off (i.e. using a button) always
has priority over automatic time con-
trol. The configured time control
would take effect automatically dur-
ing the next defined time period.
5.3.3 Guest account
If you have friends or acquaintances visiting and you
want to provide them with Internet access but without
giving away the password for your WiFi, you can set up
a separate guest account in addition to the main Inter-
net connection. The guest account can have its own
SSID, time limit and WiFi password. This way your visi-
tors can surf the Internet without having access to your
local network.
To set up a guest account, enable the Guest account
option. You can also enable or disable the guest ac-
count in the devolo Cockpit App using the Guest
account button.
If you would like to restrict this to Internet use, enable
the Only allow Internet use option as well.
